Abstract
Background
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to be related to the occurrence and development of a variety of cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, a large number of potential HCC-related lncRNAs remain undiscovered and are yet to be fully understood.
Methods
Differentially expressed lncRNAs were first obtained from the tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues of five HCC patients using high-throughput microarray chips. Then the expression levels of 10 differentially expressed lncRNAs were verified in 50 pairs of tissue samples from patients with HCC by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The oncogenic effects of lncRNA-4045 (ENST00000524045.6) in HCC cell lines were verified through a series of in vitro experiments including CCK-8 assay, plate clone formation assay, transwell assay, scratch assay, and flow cytometry. Subsequently, the potential target genes of lncRNA-4045 were predicted by bioinformatics analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization assay, and RNA sequencing. The mechanism of lncRNA-4045 in HCC was explored by WB assay as well as rescue and enhancement experiments.
Results
The results from microarray chips showed 1,708 lncRNAs to have been significantly upregulated and 2725 lncRNAs to have been significantly downregulated in HCC tissues. Via validation in 50 HCC patients, a novel lncRNA lncRNA-4045 was found significantly upregulated in HCC tissues. Additionally, a series of in vitro experiments showed that lncRNA-4045 promoted the proliferation, invasion, and migration of HCC cell lines, and inhibited the apoptosis of HCC cell lines. The results of qRT-PCR in HCC tissues showed that the expression levels of AKR1B10 were significantly positively correlated with lncRNA-4045. LncRNA-4045 knockdown significantly down-regulated AKR1B10 protein expression, and overexpression of lncRNA-4045 led to significant up-regulation of AKR1B10 protein in HCC cell lines. Lastly, down-regulation of AKR1B10 could partially eliminate the enhancement of cell proliferation induced by lncRNA-4045 overexpression, while up-regulation of AKR1B10 was shown to enhance those effects.
Conclusion
LncRNA-4045 may promote HCC via enhancement of the expression of AKR1B10 protein.
